Jan 2014
I curled inside myself,
Bit my tongue and
Forgot the lessons
They taught me, but
No more.
I have oceans beneath my flesh,
Roaring with the sounds of
Lost civilisation and
I could not be quiet if
You begged me.
Listen,
For I am Earth and Air
And holy Fire, sent to
Cleanse your violence
With something so fierce it
Burns.
I am alive,
And I am bigger than
Every load you ****** upon my back.
I shall not carry your burdens.
*I shall break them.
This is part of my poem a day challenge.
